About Me

I am a UX Designer with a keen eye for detail and a passion for crafting seamless, user-centered digital experiences. With a strong foundation in interaction design and illustration, I specialize in turning complex ideas into intuitive, visually compelling interfaces. From empathy mapping to wireframing, I create designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also enhance usability and engagement. Proficient in Figma, Adobe Suite, HTML, CSS, and platforms like Wix, Shopify, WordPress, and Webflow, I thrive on bringing thoughtful, pixel-perfect designs to life.

​

Beyond the screen, I enjoy photography, sketching inspirations, and immersing myself in storytelling-driven games like Assassin's Creed and The Sims 4. Fluent in English and Spanish, I bring a global perspective to my work.

​

Currently, I am shaping digital experiences at CBH since February 2024, while also freelancing since September 2022, helping brands create impactful and user-friendly designs.

Let’s connect and turn your vision into reality!
